RISThe Stable Internal Boundary Layer over a Coastal Sea. Part I: Airborne Measurements of the Mean and Turbulence Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: It has been recognized that progress toward understanding the mesoscale structure of the ocean requires more knowledge of the small-scale structure of the marine atmosphere and the processes that couple the air and the ...
The Stable Internal Boundary Layer over a Coastal Sea. Part II: Gravity Waves and the Momentum Balance
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations of the mean and turbulent structure of the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). obtained using the U.K. Meteorological Research Flight C-130 Hercules aircraft are used to investigate the momentum balance ...
Diurnal Evolution of the Cloud-Topped Marine Boundary Layer. Part I: Nocturnal Stratocumulus Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The structure and evolution of the extratropical marine atmosphere boundary layer (MABL) depend largely on the variability of stratus and stratocumulus clouds. Stratus clouds are generally associated with a well-mixed MABL, ...
Modeling of Ship Effluent Transport and Its Sensitivity to Boundary Layer Structure
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The LES model is applied for studying ship track formation under various boundary layer conditions observed during the Monterey Area Ship Track experiment. Simulations in well-mixed and decoupled boundary layers show that ...
Emissions from Ships with respect to Their Effects on Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Emissions of particles, gases, heat, and water vapor from ships are discussed with respect to their potential for changing the microstructure of marine stratiform clouds and producing the phenomenon known as ?ship tracks.? ...
